Why It's Okay Things Didn't Work Out

Things didn't work out, and it's not the end of the world.

Why It's Okay Things Didn't Work Out

It’s okay for a lot of reasons. It’s okay because the sun is still going to shine. It’s okay because you’ll see who the people who matter most in your life really are; because they'll be there for you even if it hurts them. It’s okay because you were never meant to be. It’s okay because you grew from the experience. But you have to realize something… He is not the only one that wanted it to end.


There has to be something… There has to be something you hated, because that’s why things don’t work out. Things don’t work out because the relationship is doomed and maybe, just maybe, there are some things that he did that you thought justified all of the bad. He opened your car door… that damn car door. He never picked up his phone when you were together.

He suggested future dates and outings that made you think it would last. He made you feel beautiful when you thought differently. But, when you wipe away the few good things that he did, there is a pile of uncertainty that you just cannot erase from your memory.


You didn’t like the way he spoke to you. You didn’t like the way that spending time with him meant less to him than it did to you. You wanted adventure. He wanted his x-box. You wanted a candlelit dinner. He wanted ‘Cookout'. You wanted to meet his family and friends and get to know him. He wanted only to tell about his family and his friends and keep you locked behind the walls of his guard. He didn't want what you wanted. He wasn’t for you.


You want someone who wants to show you off to the world. Someone who isn't afraid to show everyone that you mean more to them than they ever thought possible. You want someone who wants to spend time with you. You want someone that knows your love language without having to ask and it’s just so plain and simple; he was not that someone.


There comes a time when you realize that everything that is in your past is in your past for a reason and you start to move on. You start to think of all the possible things that you've missed out on because you were so caught up in something that contained your whole being.

You've missed out on friendships and social outings and family time that you would've wanted if you had the time… you had the time, you just chose to give that time to someone who didn't even want to give you the light of day.

I know I sound bitter and heartbroken and jealous but I've never been happier; because I'm learning to grow as a person, because of everything I've been through. I'm learning who I am and I'm learning to love who I am and if that's not the most important thing in life, I don't know what is. I want to meet people and have a good time and focus on my career and not have a care in the world about whether or not one single person cares about me.

I've spent too much of my time filled with the feeling of emptiness. Although I knew deep down inside that you didn't care at all, I made myself believe that you did. So, this is me moving on. This is me happy.


That’s why there is good in this goodbye.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
